Does hyperconjugation into sigma-star explain methylamine's increased basicity relative to ammonia?
The inductive effect with the polarisation of the C-N bond obviously plays a role in stabilising the positive charge of the conjugate acid. But given the similar electronegativities for C and H, CH3 ...
